Many writers use this global popularity to describe the game?s winners and losers, but what happens when we use social science to explore how soccer intersects with culture, society, and the self? This book provides a thinking fan?s guide to the world?s most popular game, proposing a way of engaging soccer that sparks intellectual curiosity and employs critical consciousness. Using stories and data, along with ideas from sociology, psychology, and across the social sciences, it provides readers with new ways of understanding fanaticism, peak performance, talent development, and more. Drawing on concepts ranging from cognitive bias to globalization, it illuminates meanings of the game for players and fans while investigating impacts on our lives and communities. While it considers soccer cultures across the globe, the book also analyzes what makes U.S. soccer culture special, including its embrace of the women?s game. As a scholar, former minor league player and coach, and fan, Andrew Guest offers a distinctive perspective on soccer in society. Whatever name you call it, and whatever your interest in it, Soccer in Mind will enrich your own view of the one truly global game. 410 0$aCritical Issues in Sport and Society 606 $aSoccer fans$xSocial aspects 606 $aSoccer$xSocial aspects 606 $aSoccer$xPsychological aspects 606 $aSports and globalization 610 $asports, soccer. 615 0$aSoccer fans$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSoccer$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSoccer$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aSports and globalization. 676 $a796.334 700 $aGuest$b Andrew M.$01269382 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815672203321 996 $aSoccer in mind$93919750 997 $aUNINA
